It offers disk streaming capability and supports the Gigasampler format which is currently considered to be the best sampler format in regards of possibilities and sound quality. . This package provides the backend of LinuxSampler, that is the sampler engine together with audio and MIDI drivers. LinuxSampler can be controlled via network interface which uses an ASCII based protocol called LSCP. You might consider to install a GUI frontend for LinuxSampler as well. . For more informations please visit http://www.linuxsampler.orgTop
nyquist
Version: 2.29-5
Description: a language for music composition and sound synthesis
Unlike score languages that tend to deal only with events, or signal processing languages that tend to deal only with signals and synthesis, Nyquist handles both in a single integrated system. Nyquist is also flexible and easy to use because it is based on an interactive Lisp interpreter (XLISP). . With Nyquist, you can design instruments by combining functions (much as you would using the orchestra languages of Music V, cmusic, or Csound). You can call upon these instruments and generate a sound just by typing a simple expression. You can combine simple expressions into complex ones to create a whole composition. .

rtcmix
Version: 3.4-0test1
Description: sound-processing, synthesizing, modification and mixing tools
RTcmix is a package of sound-processing, synthesizing, modification and mixing programs that you can use to do virtually anything with any pre-recorded sound, or with which you can synthesize any sound you can imagine. Its workings are very flexible and relatively simple, and, in the right combinations, any musical project can be realized. . RTcmix is a superset of CMIX, an old and venerable sound synthesis and signal-processing language written by Paul Lansky in the early 1980's. The "RT" part means it is "real-time", with the ability to process and create sound 'on-the-fly'. All of the original CMIX code exists unchanged in this version, so that older scores and instruments should run (and also be re-compiled) with no difficulties.
